About the Author

Palgrave Macmillan is a global academic publisher for scholarship, research and professional learning. We have been publishing The Statesman’s Yearbook since 1864 and have secured its reputation as a leading global reference work. After over one hundred and fifty years of publication, we are keen to build on our flagship text with The Statesman’s Yearbook Companion, an invaluable addition to both The Statesman’s Yearbook family and to the monographs, journals, reference works and professional titles that Palgrave Macmillan provides both online and in print.

With a focus on humanities and social sciences, Palgrave Macmillan offers authors and readers the very best in academic content whilst also supporting the community with innovative new formats and tools.
